CertiK, the Web3 security firm eyeing a $2B IPO as the first public Web3 cybersecurity listing, quietly launched a security scanner for AI agent skills last month. I built six skills, threw them at the API, and read every line of the response. The API is production-ready (A−, 87/100) with sharp idempotency, deterministic responses, public scoring math, and clean error codes. The threat coverage and the v1 scope cuts (no webhooks, no private GitHub, Python-only deps) are the gaps. CertiK is also the right company to be making this bet: a $2B valuation, ~65% of the global blockchain audit market, $600B in assets secured by its Skynet platform.
